Publisher's summary

The world would die laughing....

When a new disease turns people into sadistic, laughing killers, a light infantry battalion fights to maintain order in Boston. As infection spreads, the Army loses control, and the soldiers find themselves fighting the people they once swore to protect.

As the country slides into violent collapse, the lost battalion learns the last bastion of the federal government is still holding out in Florida. Harry Lee, its commander, decides the only hope is to lead the survivors there.

But first, they must cross more than a thousand miles of an apocalyptic America, hunted by a savage and merciless enemy.

Inspired by The Anabasis and written by a team of best-selling zombie authors—Craig DiLouie, Stephen Knight, and Joe McKinney—The Retreat: The Complete Series for the first time brings together all six volumes, chronicling a horrific vision of the apocalypse and a brutal depiction of courage in the face of impossible odds.

Volume includes the following works:

  • The Retreat: Pandemic
  • The Retreat: Slaughterhouse
  • The Retreat: Die Laughing
  • The Retreat: Alamo
  • The Retreat: Crucible
  • The Retreat: Forlorn Hope

it's a good series

it's getting harder to find a good zombie military themed series but this one really is pretty good RC Bray of course could read a newspaper and it'd be badass but this is definitely worth one credit

Great Series

R.C. Bray is one of the best to listen to, his performance really adds to the intensity of the story.

The story itself was great and I really enjoyed how it wasn't afraid to kill off characters. Some characters deserved a better end, but life's not fair and I feel that's what they were going for.

I would only recommend getting this complete collection of all six books, as I feel the books individually are too short.

It was a wild and enjoyable ride that I'm glad I listened to.

Total Gem that I didn’t expect to find

It’s like 32 new and fresh hours of the Arisen series. And I mean that in the best way. It you liked or loved that series then you’ll love this one. The characters are unique and original though and the “ZA” has it’s own unique feel too. But the quality and pace is similar and RC Bray is still just the goat in my opinion. Enjoy

Good story

Well written with lots of action. A new take on the zombie genre. Well worth the listen especially with R C Bray narrating.

Good series. Worth the credit.

Unique apocalyptic premise. A little overly dramatic at times but well researched and accurate portrayal of what a light fighter division can do. Narration was very good for a change.

all of it was captivating

the reader brought the story to life, with different voices and well played parts throughout, he was able to keep me interested from start to finish no boring chapters for me to loose interest with. the best is still the extinction cycle series and i hope to find more of those or some that are just as good!
